We went here as a family with our 4 year old and had a great time! Excellent value for the quality of food. Had the fish tacos and taco wontons. Great children’s menu. The margaritas are great as well! Awesome casual restaurant.

OK this place is on a busy corner lot with just a few spaces to park. Most of seating is outside so noisy. But food and beer are the reason you came. And they are worth the effort. Did not expect this to be as...More
